[rbs]

hi guys,
has been a long long time since my last visit on this great site!

here are the rules:

-same size of the start img = 1440X900
-rotation allowed
-reply - up to 4 days
-must be alements from the previous image.
that's it i think...

[thedarkness]

[lefteyewilly]

[groupof1]

I think people have the sleepy summer fever.

[pea3698]

Damn Lefteye. Don't viva just yet. You got to have at least two for that phrase to be used lol.
It has been dead . . not that I have been contributing, but I haven't sat at my home computer period for over a month now probably closer to 2.

[rbs]

well i hope its not dead yet....
i'm waiting...

[thedarkness]

Nope not dead here is my return

[thedarkness]

Oh how many rounds Rbs?

[rbs]

nice man, but i can't find any connection to my first image in yours.
any way i like it alot, clean and nice work.
i'll come up with something maybe tomorow.
about the rounds, its could be 2 or 200 (-;
see ya

[thedarkness]

part of your image was the words first kiss in which I used as an etching in the tree on the right hand side mid ways down with in the heart that that I created as is they carved it in the tree trunk. Cool I"ll look for it.

[rbs]

here is my reply:


enjoy

[thedarkness]

My return hope you like. The part of your image was used in the lower left and right corner took a portion of the ground cover and used it as a brush and textures.

[lefteyewilly]

lovin' the color scheme and idea behind this. it's a little dijsointed message wise, but it works.

Great texture work as well.

keep it going.

[thedarkness]

Thanks Lefteye mssg wixe I decided urban jungle do to the previous image by rbs, and then by people always refering to the city as a concrete jungle mixed with the speakers is where the influenced by Hip Hop comes into play. Thanks on the texture work. Hey Rbs is it possible to take down the size so that people can enjoy the image without scrolling?

[rbs]

wow dude i like it alot, how do u do the old paper effect? i like it alot.

yeah sure lets make it 1000X600

[thedarkness]

Most apreciative mate. on the size.the paper is actually chipped paint on the wall. I repeated several layers of It with different treatments. Blurs opacities and then color variations. I checked your blog with your project section I liked a few of the images you had there and honestly you have a potentially good eye for images I would say focus more on telling the story through you image without text one of the best cats I know on text treatments check Gerbick's work out for that. Another person you should check is Ctranter dude is phenomenal. My favorite is the locomotive. That joint is so hot it is ridiculous I know I spent a few hours checking out that piece and others by him. also dude check Bahmet whew. You light rays in the previous imge take a gaussian blur to it and play with the opacity o fit as well your light rays would never have a straight edge. Anyway enough rambling i look forward to seeing what you come up with.

[groupof1]

awesome battle so far! just figured i would chime in with the last question- check out the stickies in the main arena there is a thread dedicated to sites with royalty free stock images that are much better then google image search.
